Brow Lift in Flowood, MS

Most brow lift surgeries are performed with the patient under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgery at an accredited hospital or surgical center. Small incisions are placed in low visibility areas, such as behind the hairline or in the eyebrows. The most common brow lift techniques are the open brow lift, limited incision brow lift, and endoscopic brow lift, which will be chosen based on your goals and your individual features. The surgeon will remove any excess skin once the incisions are made, then smooth and reposition the muscles and soft tissue to reduce wrinkles and lines while elevating the eyebrows to an appropriate level.

Brow lift surgery usually takes about two hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. Most patients take 1 – 3 weeks to recover after a brow lift, but they are generally able to drive and return to work in two weeks. For the first few days after surgery, you should expect some temporary bruising, discomfort, tightness, and numbness. Your surgeon will talk to you about what you need to do during your recovery and provide tips for an easier recovery. You will need to return for a follow-up appointment in one week to have your sutures removed and to check your healing progress. While visible improvements can be seen right away, the final results of the brow lift are usually seen about 4 – 6 months after the surgery.
